I thought part of geohot's settlement with Sony was that he wasn't allowed to discuss what happened? Maybe that was just with his case and not with the latest incident. Regardless, I like his attitude, and hope he continues honing his hacking skills. As he points out, at least they used a very strong XKCD style randomization algorithm.
It's a real shame that Sony alienates their customers with these kinds of acts while building a flimsy infrastructure for gaming. I'm one of those people who bought the PS3 just for OtherOS(and thankfully never got the removal patch) and honestly, given the lackluster performance it has and this move, I'm highly tempted to just sell it. The rootkit debacle of several years ago still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Today's Penny Arcade covers it quite nicely:
